Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-07 19:12:44] info at intelligentstreaming dot com Description: ------------ http://www.php.net/xsl states that the minimum version of libxslt required for the XSL extension is 1.0.18. When using libxslt 1.0.23 and "php:function" in an XPath expression in an XSL document to call a function which returns a nodeset (DOMDocument), any attempt to use <xsl:apply-templates select="$returnednodeset" /> to parse the returned nodeset causes the XSL transformation to fail (XSLTProcessor::transformToXML() returns false). Other forms of use of the returned nodeset such as setting an <xsl:variable>, passing it to another template with <xsl:call-template> or outputting some of its contents with <xsl:value-of> work correctly. Upgrading to libxslt 1.0.33 solves the problem and <xsl:apply-templates> works as expected with the returned nodeset. Suggest noting in the documentation that libxslt < 1.0.33 does not provide complete functionality. Reproduce code: --------------- XML: http://www.intelligentstreaming.com/EscapedXML.xml XSL: http://www.intelligentstreaming.com/EscapedXML.xsl PHP function 'xmldecode': function xmldecode($string) { return DOMDocument::loadXML($string); } Expected result: ---------------- <?xml version="1.0"?> <html><head><title>Embedded XML test</title></head><body> NORMAL TEXT: This is some normal text<br/> TITLE: News article title<br/> TOPIC: The topic<br/> ARTICLE: This is the text of the news article.<br/> NORMAL TEXT: This is some more normal text<br/> </body></html> Actual result: -------------- libxslt-1.0.23: No output. libxslt-1.0.33: Expected result as shown above. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35589&edit=1
